Hmm... `goto &func` is really, really useful in an AUTOLOAD. I agree that `goto LABEL` is really bad. And its lots faster and slightly better structured to do `redo LABEL` instead. The `redo LABEL` trick is something I'm using in a Scheme implementation I'm working on. It's sort of horrible, but it buys me tail call optimization and (coming soon) 'real' continuations, so I'll make the trade.	[reply]

Oh, don't worry about that Piers. We knew it was you. Who else is implementing Scheme in a version of Perl not yet released? Cheers, Erik	[reply]
